Levis: Made In (Anywhere But) America

*sigh*

I was making a list with my wife the other night about all of the iconic American products which are no longer Made In America™. I had to stop because it was too depressing.

Along with his chronicling of the Electrolux debacle in Michigan, Dale Price mentions the news that Levi’s are no longer Made In America but are simply MIA.

Did you know that Etch-A-Sketch™ was made not far from here in Bryan, Ohio? The Ohio Art Company now does all it’s manufacturing in China.

(Bryan is a neighboring town to my hometown, and had one of the Episcopalian churches in our shared ministry cluster when we lived there. It’s not a ghost town, but I think “vibrant” is … ahem … a bit of a stretch.)

peace,
